Commodity Futures Trading Commission Strategic Plan 2014-2018, October 2014 (PDF)(HTML)
Since the passage of the CEA, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and its predecessor agencies have been responsible for ensuring the fair, open and efficient functioning of futures markets – we have met that challenge. After the 2008 financial crisis, and the subsequent enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act, the CFTC‘s mission was expanded to include, for the first time, oversight of the swaps marketplace. The Commission still has much work to do to effectively complete implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act and police the over-the-counter markets. Once implemented, derivatives dealers will be subject to robust oversight. Standardized derivatives will be required to trade on open platforms and be submitted for clearing to central counterparties, all of which will be subject to Federal regulation and supervision.

Under Executive Order 13514, President Obama directed Federal agencies to cut waste, pollution, and costs in Federal operations, and to evaluate climate-related risks in order to ensure they can continue to meet their mission and serve the American public in the face of a changing climate. In February 2013, Federal agencies released their first ever Climate Change Adaptation Plans to the general public, outlining strategies to reduce the vulnerability of Federal programs, assets, and investments to the impacts of climate change, such as sea level rise and more frequent or severe extreme weather. Agency plans highlight actions to prepare for and address these impacts through their programs and operations.
